Our center welcomes all inquiries for group trips of various time spans and destinations. We prefer small groups --8 - 16 are ideal-- and we move around in small air-conditioned vans and by foot. By staying in B+Bs who are used to curious gringoes, we keep costs affordable. No 30-passenger buses pulling up to local sites/homes on our trips!

Embedded scholar and guide, Dr.Joseph Scarpaci, aims to show travelers from various walks of life the many nuances of the shifting Cuban culture and economy. Move beyond tourist-guide description to critical and interdisciplinary thinking. Nearly 90 trips to Cuba since 1990 have allowed Dr. Scarpaci to introduce nearly 900 Americans to Cuba.

Trips of various themes are available to explore the Cuban landscape, art and artists, creativity and innovation, architecture, private-sector employment, birdwatching & culture. We travel in small groups, and prefer about 10 travelers. That lets us stay in B+Bs that have been vetted and are clustered in the same building and/or neighborhood.
